[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by NTDN [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard I am not sure that the concept of " your not doing so good" is a valid reason for the US Goverment to interfere with any non goverment business. [/quote] Actually Ed, all the governement has to prove is that UP is violating the Anti-Trust Laws enough to justify a forced dissolution, all they need is an excuse to start the process and " your not doing so good" could be the catalyst, especially if a life is lost due to their neglect. I truely belive UP has hit the threshold of mergers, I highly doubt they could merge again without being slapped with an Antitrust violation suit. It wouldn't suprise me if the Governement stepped in soon and forced them to disolve SP back as an independant company. Jay [/quote] That would start something that also might get out of hand. If UP is forced to rid itself of SP then NS and CSX should return Conrail. Then BN should be forced to give back SF, and CN should give back IC. That would also start a chain of CNW, MP, and tons of other once proud Class 1s thinking of independence once again. BN could be forced to return to pre GN, NP, and C B & Q days. Where would it all stop? Merger mania was a mistake. Would breaking up the large railroads into their original members undo that mistake?
